Well, I'm in "your age group" also. I have always liked cars and think you're either wired for it or you're not. I remember the early fifties Mercs lowered in the back. I remember "draggin the main" in the central vally of CA in the late fifties. I also remember stories from much older car guys of chugging up & down main streets of little towns in their model T's & A's. From a young age there was a thrill of making a machine do my bidding and the thrill of acceleration that went with it. I worked in a gas station (when they were "real" gas stations) in the late fifties after school & on weekends pumping gas, doing brake jobs, tune ups, etc. I'm glad the majority of people look at cars as an appliance or status cruiser. Actually that's about all they are these days, except for some exotics. It seems like there isn't much to do with them without a lot of money except for putting more plastic on them. Right now I'm happy to just piddle around with my little old '69.
